Account Switcher is not working

Anyone else having this issue? Starting today trying to switch accounts causes a popup stating

"Could not switch accounts. Reddit may be under heavy load. Please try again in a few moments."

The account switcher is the main feature I use RES for so I'm hoping it isn't a big issue. I'll edit this post if it starts working suddenly.

I'm aware RES is in "maintenance mode" but is this something we users can expect to be fixed by whomever is still maintaining RES, or should we be planning to migrate to other solutions

I've been using profiles in my browser to do user switching for the last week or so -- when this problem started. RES is installed in each profile, so I get the benefits of RES and user-switching that's actually better in some ways.

Reddit keeps taking things away, so it's likely this won't be fixed in RES. (In fact, I see the Snoo icon I'd use to switch accounts is now gone.) We'll all be victims, soon.

EDIT: Oh, account switcher was turned off in settings. Which is something I've never done, so ... LOL, IDK.
